In honour of Earth Day, create a recycled craft and bring it back in for community voting!

Starting April 1st, visit any branch to pick up instructions and then create your own recycled craft at home! Bring it back into any branch when you are done, and we will display them in the Listowel Branch for the remainder of the month. All of April, you can come in and vote on your favourite creation!

In the busyness of family life, it can sometimes be hard to find the time and space to connect one on one with our children. 
Connection Corner is here to be that safe, cozy, and connective space where you can come with your child/children and be intentional with your time together.
Each month will be geared around a theme and set up with related books, activities, games, and opportunities to have fun and connect. A joyful time to be present and playful.
See you at Connection Corner.

Let's start off right by reading 1 book to our littles every day before they enter Kindergarten! In just 4 years, one book a night will surpass 1000 books!! This initiative is to support literacy and the love of reading! 

How to join in on the fun: 

  1. Get ready. Pick up a tracking poster or print them from our website.
  2. Read & Track it. Colour in, or cross out for each book you read to your child.
  3. Every book counts. Even if your child wants to hear the same book again and again, you can count it each time. 
  4. Keep going. Can you surpass 1000 books? 
  5. Share your success. Tag us @northperthlib and use the hashtag #1000BooksB4K.
